I was told none was needed. No leaks so far on my setup.

I dont use one, but was thinking that it would probably lose boost from leak at the wastegate hole if its not sealed correct, so I might get one from here, http://www.forcedfab.com

Re: do u use a gasket between the turbo and downpipe? (rsintegra)

I needed one because I'm only using 4 out of 5 bolts and it was leaking a little so I got my 5 bolt dp gasket from http://www.roadraceengineering.com.
